For anyone who loves Rick Riordan and his action-packed books about the heroes of Olympus, then this adapted version of the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series will be a sure-fire hit.  This graphic novel illustrates the beginning of Percy Jackson’s adventures, including his realization that he is a demi-god and the son of Poseidon.  The Oracle of Delphi sends Percy on a mission to recover stolen goods, and his travels result in terrifying moments of danger, as well as validation of his true identity as a son of the gods. Can this boy and his friends stop a war between the gods?  Is Percy Jackson really the lightning thief?  Check out this graphic novel and see for yourself!
